Super Rygbi Cymru 2024/25 fixtures and key dates in full

The WRU have announced the launch of their new 10-team competition, Super Rygbi Cymru.

The 10 clubs will move out of the community game in Wales and become aligned with the professional tie as a means to bridge the gap between the amateur and professional game.

The WRU have announced the full fixture list, in which the 10 clubs will play 18 home and away games in the regular system, before the league then enters three rounds of play-offs before a grand final.

The season will align with the professional calendar. There will also be three pieces of silverware up for grabs, too, the Super Rygbi Cymru Trophy, the Super Rygbi Cymru Cup and the Challenger Shield.

The Challenger Shield will see the winners of this year’s cup, Llandovery RFC, as the holders. The holders must defend the shield in all home games during the regular season. If the challenger beats them, they will become the new holder of the shield and required to defend it at their next home game.

The Super Rygbi Cymru Cup will take place during the Six Nations. It will be a four-round competition and a final. There will be two pools of five teams randomly drawn and each team will be play two home and two away matches, the winner of each pool play for the Cup in the final.

The last piece of silverware is the Trophy, which will be the winner of the grand final of the league competition.
